Hi all.

I'm gathering parts to fab up the exhaust for my Jetta conversion. My plan:

Short run of 1 5/8" 90 degree pipes from manifold to collector, then a
"J" pipe forward, around, and back to stock Vanagon cat and muffler.
OR an aftermarket cat and muffler with 2" inlets/outlets.

After the collector, the Jetta is 2" pipe.

What is the diameter of exhaust pipe on the Vanagon?

Can anyone direct me to a quiet good sounding, good fitting after
market muffler?

And how "tight" a bend can be made (mandrel bent) on 2" aluminized steel?

Thanks!

Neil.
